Rowley
Rowley is an amazing ghost town with an undying spirit! It is also a must to visit when travelling through the Canadian Badlands. The community's main attractions include the newly restored elevators which have been designated as a provincial historic site, the Rowley Church, Prairie School Museum and the Yesteryear Artifacts Museum (housed in the original railway station). The most famous stop in Rowley is Sam's Saloon, a well-known local watering hole and meeting place. Be sure to stop by on the last Saturday of the month (5-9pm) for Pizza Night and great entertainment! Free camping is available in designated areas and all donations are greatly appreciated!
Rowley is 8 miles (12.8km) north of the junction of Highway 56, 9 & 27 (Morrin Corner), then 3 miles (5 km) west on Township Road 32-4. For tours or even bookings, call 403-368-3757, 403-368-2355 or 403-368-3816.
